Strange

Famous quotes containing the word strange:

    It was a very lonely spirit that looked out from under those shaggy brows and comprehended men without fully communicating with them, as if, in spite of all its genial efforts at comradeship, it dwelt apart, saw its visions of duty where no man looked on.... This strange child of the cabin kept company with invisible things, was born into no intimacy but that its own silently assembling and deploying thoughts.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    I saw the strange position of his hands
    Up at his shoulders, dragging yellow strands
    Of wire with something in it from men to men.
    “You here?” I said. “Where aren’t you nowadays?...”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The day of the absolute is over, and we’re in for the strange gods once more.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
